I avoid online games because I'm old and don't have time to practice like teenagers do.

I play online games because they're still fun even if the teenagers are better than me

If you have fun playing it doesn't matter how good or bad you are

Dying instantly when I spawn is not fun.

What, you don't like little kids screaming random slurs at you?

That's part of the experience

Oh then my only advice is "git gud" :)

I scratch my FPS itch with quick games of Ravenfield. The little stick men don't yell at me and are almost as bad as I am.

I like still being in my gaming prime (28) and already being better than your average FPS gamer.

Top scoring multiple matches in a row to have someone call you a sweaty no-life teenager only to drop that you work 10 hours a day and can still make them look like they'd never touched a controller before is fun every time.

Shit, my dad was going 30:5 in BLOPS II at age 57, he'd wait to use his mic in between rounds to laugh at the people bitching about the sweaty kid. Suddenly this deep ass voice just saying "get good"
